There is some kind of "leak" that I can't beat...

the walls are both touching...

Hammer is crazy or there is something else that can cause a leak than a hole? (no, the walls aren't entities...)

EDIT: btw, my HL is crashing if I use noclip mode and try to see by the other side of the wall... help on this ? particles are set to 100000.

    Problem solved...

    Because of a vertex editing, the walls got a hole of a about 1/10 of the minor size that hammer can handle.

    That's why I couldn't see that <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I sometimes get the same problem when making cliffs/rocks.

    Once I had a leak that existed for no reason at all, I swear. The only way to fix it was to stick an extra brush in a certain spot that was most definitely already sealed, as I had recreated the simple corner several times already, to no avail.

    Sometimes HL is wierd.

    These are all caused because of the way Half-Life "rounds" brushes. Just because two pieces look flush in Hammer, doesn't mean they are flush when compiled. I have a thread in the Newbie Mapping Forum which explains all about these CSG Leaks.

    I wish an admin would sticky it.

    The brushes in the vincinity of the phantom leak were pretty much plain cubes plunked right on the grid, but I suspect some nearby geometry was somehow creating a mysterious convergence of mathematical anomalies in that area. Or perhaps it was <b>ghosts</b> in my computer! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Anyways, the map was from like 2 years ago and I stopped working on it, I just thought I'd mention that on rare occasions leaks happen for very strange, incomprehensible reasons...

    Perhaps that's why nobody has stickied it: You're being too subtle! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
